Its-a....

Good news, good news. Now it is official, I can tell you. Marissa went for her test this morning and they found two healthy sacks, so it is twins. She even has pictures; I am going after work to see them. Anyway, the doctors are pleased with her progress, and she is VERY happy. Since both eggs are good, she will have to take the progesterone shots for a month more, I think into June. I think the due date is in December, so maybe we will get babies for Christmas. It has been a long process but I think they are pleased with the results. Having the babies is the easy part, raising them is much more difficult, rewarding but difficult. You need to have lots of heavenly help. This Sunday is Mothers day and Marissa has invited Sr. Lonni and me over for dinner after church. I told her I will come to her ward and go to church with them. Sr. Lonni will spend the weekend with her son and his family and on Sunday, his wife will go to Nephi to she her mother so Sr. Lonni is going to come with us. All of you who are Mothers, I wish you a Happy Mothers Day. I am a mother are very happy with my children. I love them very much. They all are my light and life. The most difficult part of being a Mother is letting them go and make their own families. Once they are on their own, they are busy raising their own families and your kind of forgotten, that's OK though, that is what you raise them up to carry on with their own families. That is one of the blessings of serving a mission, your not in their way and you are doing meaningful work. It has been an wonderful experience serving these two missions. I have learned something new from each one. I think back and felt like my mind was going dull, and being on this mission keeps me working my brain.
Last Friday was Sunshine's last day here in our department, and, tomorrow she reports to the MTC. (Mission to Hungary) I remember how exciting it was to finally get there. It is a marvelous place to be and the spirit of the Lord is so strong there. It is wonderful to watch the young people and their enthusiasm in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
On the 15th, I will go to Silver City to pick up my vehicle, my dear brother found a used 4 wheel drive for me and we will exchange vehicles. Also, Dianne will be baptised so it will be a double treat. My new room mate will probably go with me and we will make it a four day trip. I am hoping to stop and see some of my family on the way. I have a great family and I miss them, I think of them most often.
Janet, the lady that sits next to me here just got the word from her daughter in Japan that they had a baby girl in the night. They emailed her pictures, my she is beautiful. She weighted 8#3oz, and was 20.5 inches long. She was born there with a midwife and both mother and baby look happy and healthy.
I don't remember if I told you, Sam will be getting out of the hospital around the 17th, Now, Ashley is in training on how to take care of him, he will still be in rehab and it is on 10600, about 15 minutes from their house. I am sure he will be happy to be home. We are so happy he is doing so well. He young man who is the son of one of the man who works in the creative production-international division, and had the similar injury as Sam is now in China for Stem cell therapy. He will be there for two months. He has an interpreter with him and his father too. The father will be traveling to places in that part of the world doing audiovisual work. Sam is very interested to see how it all works out for him. So are we...
Love to all,
